Angels In Outerspace

Well, not exactly, but I thought that "Angels
in the outfiled" was a bit plated out. Anyway,
the last few years the only thing standing in the
way of the California/Anaheim/Los Angeles/
West Coast Angels has been the Boston Red Sox,
but the last two series have been decisive wins
by those heavenly, all world Angels. Let's throw
in that one the day traded for Mark Texeira, they
were two outs from no hitting those very same
Red Sox, and they also have the best record in
baseball with the 22nd worst slugging percentage
in the league. Hmmm, should make for an interesting
post season with any hitting at all huh?

By the way, what does it say for Scott Boras that his
clients are avoided like the plague during the trade
deadline?, i.e. Mark Texeira two years running.
What else does it say after the A-Rod fiasco, and
his Many being Manny client acting like a child
during a very important series against the Yankees?
Oh sorry, my bad, the Sox option on Manny is
only worth $20 million next year. What an insult
to Manny !

Take this into account if you're an Oakland A's
fan. They had the Big three Zito, Mulder, &
Hudson, and won nothing. He gets criticized
when he makes trades like he did to the Phillies
and Diamondbacks lately for throwing in the
towel, though he says he hasn't, but he must
know something. Zito is awful since leaving
the A's, A's got two picks for losing a top flight
free agent of his caliber. Mulder has been good
when pitching but has been injured more often
than not, and Hudson has also pitched well, but
he too is about to miss the next year and a half.
Most importantly. even thought he A's have still
not hit the promised land without them, they
have not hit the promised land with out the A's,
and don't look to anytime soon. That being said,
I don't expect any miracles out of any Blanton,
or Haren teams either, though I will admit
they presently have better chances.
